The nly good buy we should make is Tariq Sims for next year

[novice chook]

Korkidas had footy talent but had no football smarts and extremely ill disciplined. One of dumbest footballers I've seen and that's saying something.

He was very easily baited and once he got his temper up, footy was secondary importance to exacting revenge. And penalties to the opposition flowed.

The worst of the worst that I've seen don the RWB:

8. Dallas Hood
10. Chris Beattie
11. Mark Edmondson
12. Steve Crouch
13. Nick Kouparitisas

14. Charlie Tonga
15. Danny Williams
16. Willie Brown
17. George Azzi

18th man: Michael "the Greek Dynamo" Korkidas

Martin Kennedy, for all his faults, was two or three classes above these court jesters.

Can we please put yesterday's hero on that list? Another doggie we bought, ill forgive the paul dunn signing as he did play for the roosters originally, and actually didn't play to badly if I recall in about 95 or 96.

Last night and last week highlighted enormously just how much we need Fergo!! Fergo is oozing with talent, he has huge X factor with the ability to create something out of nothing and either score or set up a try. He on his own has the capability of winning us these really tight games like against manly and bull$cumdog$hit.

Because of all of the above things mentioned, he $hits all of SKD and is a must for us to get for next year, especially with the massive X factor that will go missing with SBW leaving us!!

A big meter eating forward with plenty of aggression is also what we are lacking!

Agree totally with you on his ability Oracle.Its his off field antics that worry me.

I have full faith in our coaching staff, senior players and club culture to get the best out of Fergo and ensure that those off field antics are a thing of the past.

That was last year.
We were new then.
Now we're old, and opposition teams have worked us out.
They know all our plays and are ready.
They know there are tries to be had down both our wings, and so far they've taken them and won against us.
We don't have enough big forwards who can hold their ground when tackled and not get pushed backwards.
We had Kennedy last year.

That's where you lost me.

[John Corey]

Is this the same Kennedy who didn't play half the season because he was injured, and so whose impact on the team was limited? The same one who wasn't good enough to make the GF 17??

You whinge enough the penalties as it is - if we had Kennedy we'd be giving away 4-5 more each week. The only reason he's now more disciplined is because he's wearing a ShowPony jersey, not a RWB one.

As for being old - what's the old saying that everything old becomes new again. And we've got another 20 plus rounds left to prove it. Hopefully it starts with a win against the Eels tomorrow.

Exactly mate. Kennedy was no loss and played very little part in last years success.

Dallas Hood had the nickname ABS. Coz he braked at the line. Absolutely useless and I cannot believe he made FG. What about Sandy Campbell? At the Dogs he was skinny and lightning fast. We buy him and after the offseason he turns up built like a Greek Adonis! Lost all his pace.

[Arties Pie]

Yeah Langmack should have been on that list somewhere, very ordinary. The best service I have seen him give was at Hungry Jacks : P

[Tommy Smith]

He probably would have been but I never saw him in the RWB ... thankfully!!

Dallas Hood is Captain btw. Love the nickname. He was a disgrace.

People seem to forget why Langmack was brought to the Roosters, it certainly wasn't to play regular first grade. He was brought in to help the young kids in reserve grade.

He also got me some business with Easts back in the early 2000's when I rang the head of marketing at the time and lied to him saying "I was chatting to Paul the other day and he suggested I call you about an opportunity...". I had chatted to Paul, but it was a routine 'hey, you're Paul Langmack'-type of chat. Nothing remotely to do with shit.

We should sign Penwiff's woman supporter who bashed Sam Burgarse with her flag!

Absolute disgrace and she should be banned for life. But if you are going to do this I do admire her choice of whom to attack.

They are a funny bunch out there. Some of my nicest friends over the years have been Penrith fans. A few of us were invited to the NRL Launch in February to see Mini become the face of the game and there were fans from every club being escorted into the convention centre by NRL ambassadors. Outside, in the rain, was one Penny fan who refused to go inside until he finished smoking his Winnie Red, or was it Winnie Blue.b He squatted down in the rain in his 'cocktail attire' of resplendent jersey waiting until the last moment to go inside. That woman with the flag sounds suspiciously like my friend's mother in law...even the family won't sit with her at games because she gets so fired up..

[redwhiteblue]

Sam's mother is all over Twitter now defending her son and getting all outraged. I can understand the need to defend her family, as it was a low act, but does she not realise how her sons have behaved since arriving in Australia also? Smashing car windows and grabbing other mens' private parts is also unacceptable behaviour. Sometimes it's best to keep a dignified silence..

[Salvatori Grubber]

Heh. I hadn't thought of that.

Fair point.
